In a recent announcement, the Egyptian Football Association confirmed that coach Rui Vitoria has been relieved of his duties following an underwhelming performance by the national team in the Africa Cup of Nations. Vitoria, a 53-year-old Portuguese coach, was at the helm during Egypt's disappointing round-of-16 exit after a penalty shootout loss to Congo DR.
The Egyptian Football Association expressed gratitude to Rui Vitoria and his backroom staff in a statement, acknowledging their efforts. The decision to part ways with the coach came after a meeting where the administrative and technical reports of the national team's participation in the tournament were discussed.
